An optical device for an automated temporization of diagnostic tools for medium voltage substation
2013
This work describes a fibre optic device suitable for generating a trigger signal for a Medium Voltage substation
monitoring system. It is based on the use of a low-cost transparent electro-optic ceramic for tracking electric
field/voltage changes at the electric network frequency (50/60Hz). Results of tests carried out on a preliminary optical
sensor, performed by means of a Voltage Calibrator, were in good agreement with the modelled sensor response to AC and DC voltages. This confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed model approach. Through simulation sensor
parameters and layout were optimised for implementing a robust, low cost and easy installable optical device able to
properly trigger a set of optical diagnostic tools for Medium Voltage switchboards.
